昨天，是中国传统的七夕节

昨天，我们迎来了中国传统节日——七夕。

七夕，是中国传统节日中最浪漫的日子。牛郎织女隔着银河相望，只有一年一度的鹊桥相会。这个流传千年的故事，让七夕不仅承载着爱情，也寄托着人们对团圆、相守与美好生活的向往。

Yesterday was Qixi Festival, one of China’s traditional festivals.

Yesterday, we celebrated the traditional Chinese festival of Qixi, often known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Qixi is one of the most romantic traditional festivals in Chinese culture. According to the legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, separated by the Milky Way, are able to meet only once a year on the Magpie Bridge. This thousand-year-old story not only represents love, but also expresses people’s wishes for reunion, companionship and a happy life.

华人之家一年一度的家长日于7月5日顺利举行，吸引了众多家长踊跃出席。当天，家长们齐聚学校，与老师面对面交流，了解孩子们学习中文的进展，并进一步掌握他们在校的学习情况。

为了让家长更全面地了解孩子们的学习成果，老师们提前完成了期终考试试卷的批改工作，并在家长日当天向家长讲解孩子们的考试表现，分析他们的学习优势与有待加强之处。家长们也借此机会与老师深入交流，共同探讨协助孩子提升学习成效的方法。

家长日不仅促进了家校之间的沟通与联系，也让家长对孩子的学习表现及期终考试成绩有了更深入的了解。相信在家长与学校携手合作下，孩子们将能在学习道路上不断进步，取得更优异的成绩。

Manchester Chinese Centre successfully held its annual Parents’ Day on 5 July, welcoming many parents to the Centre. The event provided a valuable opportunity for parents to meet with teachers, learn about their children’s progress in Chinese language learning, and gain a better understanding of their overall academic development.

To help parents better understand their children’s learning achievements, teachers had completed the marking of the final examination papers in advance. During the event, they discussed the students’ examination performance, highlighted their strengths, and identified areas for improvement. Parents also had the opportunity to communicate directly with teachers and exchange ideas on how best to support their children’s learning.

The annual Parents’ Day strengthened the partnership between Manchester Chinese Centre and families while providing parents with a deeper understanding of their children’s academic progress and final examination results. Through close collaboration between parents and teachers, students are expected to continue growing in confidence and achieving greater success in their Chinese language learning.

中文学校期末考试结束后，我们迎来了一年一度的诗歌节。这是孩子们朗读与背诵古诗词的美好时光，也是感受中华文化魅力的机会。

朗读不仅仅是“读出来”，更是一种高效的学习方式。孩子们一边看文字、一边发出声音、一边听自己的朗读，同时嘴巴和舌头也在不断运动。视觉、听觉和动作三种感官一起参与，让同一份内容反复进入大脑，留下更深刻的印象。

在朗读过程中，孩子们还能通过停顿、节奏和语调，慢慢理解每一个词句的意思，把零散的文字连贯起来。当他们能够记住诗词，并用自己的话表达诗中的意境时，就是真正理解了诗词。

华人之家中文学校每年举办诗歌朗诵活动，希望让孩子们在诵读中亲近经典，在欣赏中感受中华文化之美，也在一次次登台中建立自信，培养表达能力，让诗词的种子在孩子们心中生根发芽。🌱

Following the end-of-term examinations, our Chinese School once again welcomed our annual Poetry Recital Festival—a wonderful opportunity for children to read, recite and appreciate the beauty of classical Chinese poetry.

Reading aloud is much more than simply saying the words. It is one of the most effective ways to learn. As children read, they see the characters, speak the words, hear their own voices, and engage the muscles of their mouth and tongue. By combining visual, auditory and physical learning, the same content is reinforced through multiple pathways, making it easier to remember and understand.

Reading aloud also encourages children to slow down, pause naturally, and connect the meaning of each word and sentence. Through rhythm and expression, they gradually develop a deeper understanding of the poems. When they can recall the verses and explain them in their own words, it shows that they have truly understood what they have learned.

Every year, Manchester Chinese Centre organises a Poetry Recital Festival to give children the opportunity to experience and appreciate the richness of Chinese poetry. We hope that through reading, reciting and performing, our students will develop confidence, strengthen their language skills, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for Chinese language and culture.

6月27日，我们拼音班的同学参加了曼彻斯特市政府在大公园举办的社区种花活动。

一年前，孩子们跟着韩老师学唱《花园种花》：
在小小的花园里面，
挖呀挖呀挖，
种小小的种子，
开小小的花。

一年后的今天，孩子们再次来到大公园，亲手种下一株株花苗。曾经歌里的“小小种子”，如今变成了现实中的绿色行动，也在孩子们心中播下了关爱自然、服务社区的种子。

诗歌节结束后，拼音班以这场充满意义的种花活动，为本学年画上了圆满的句号，也正式迎来了期待已久的暑假。

愿孩子们像自己种下的花朵一样，在阳光下茁壮成长，度过一个快乐而充实的暑假！

On 27th June, our Pinyin Class pupils took part in a community flower-planting event organised by Manchester City Council at the local park.
A year ago, the children learned to sing the song Planting Flowers in the Garden with Teacher Han.

One year later, the children returned to the same park to plant flowers with the local community. The "little seeds" from the song have now become a meaningful real-life experience. More importantly, seeds of kindness, environmental awareness and community spirit have also been planted in the children's hearts.

Following our Poetry Festival, this flower-planting activity was a wonderful way to bring the academic year to a close before the children begin their summer holidays.

We hope our pupils, just like the flowers they planted, will continue to grow, blossom and enjoy a happy, fun-filled summer.

Our A Level Chinese students and teacher recently visited the cinema to watch Dear You.

Centred around the story of Qiaopi (letters and remittances sent by overseas Chinese), the film tells the true history of our ancestors who left their homes in Teochew region and travelled to Southeast Asia in search of a better life. Many men left behind their wives and children, crossed the seas alone, and worked tirelessly in a foreign land. During those long years of separation, a monthly letter was often the only connection that kept families together and carried their love, hope and longing for one another.

The emotional reunion of two elderly women at the end of the film moved many viewers to tears. As the audience left the cinema, some students quietly wiped away their tears, while others said, "I want to watch it again."

The film not only tells the story of early Chinese migration to Southeast Asia, but also reminds us of many Chinese families who have made the United Kingdom their home. In search of a better future for the next generation, many parents left their homeland, endured great hardship, and rebuilt their lives in a foreign country. Although times have changed, the love for family, the longing for home, and the spirit of quiet sacrifice remain the same.

Through this film, our students gained a deeper understanding of the history of Chinese migration and a greater appreciation of the importance of family bonds. More importantly, they witnessed the resilience, perseverance and enduring cultural identity of overseas Chinese communities, whose dedication has helped preserve the Chinese language and promote Chinese culture across generations around the world.

On Father's Day, the children at Manchester Chinese Centre created special handmade gifts for their beloved and wonderful dads.

With great enthusiasm, the children carefully cut, pasted, and assembled their crafts. Before long, each child had made a giant “thumbs-up” hand, symbolising appreciation and love. They also wrote the Chinese message “Dad, you are amazing!” on their creations and proudly presented these unique gifts to their fathers.

These simple handmade cards carried heartfelt gratitude and affection, making Father's Day even more meaningful. We wish all fathers around the world happiness, good health, and a very Happy Father's Day!

Manchester Supplementary School Achievement Awards

On 13 June, Manchester City Council held the Manchester Supplementary School Achievement Awards 2026 ceremony at the University of Manchester. Three members from Manchester Chinese Centre were honoured for their outstanding contributions to community service, education, and youth development: Chung Yan Grace Wong, Aaron Jilong Shi, and Siew-Kiang Ng.

Grace Wong received the Best Community Partner Award. Holding a PGCE in Secondary Education, Master's degree in TESOL with Linguistic and BA(Hons) degree in TESOL and Chinese and qualified examiner status. Grace has been actively supporting Manchester Chinese Centre's community initiatives for many years. Her contributions include leading youth volunteers on visits to care homes, helping organise Chinese New Year community meals for homeless people, and a teacher-examiner assisting with the external GCSE and A Level Cantonese and Mandarin speaking examinations. Her warm personality, kindness, and dedication have made her a highly valued and much-loved member of the community.

Siew-Kiang Ng was presented with the Creative Teaching and Learning Award. With both BA and MA qualifications in Chinese Studies, Siew has devoted herself to teaching GCSE and A Level Chinese courses at Manchester Chinese Centre for many years. Through a wide range of innovative teaching methods, she helps students develop strong listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Activities such as A Level debates, speaking recordings, and interactive classroom exercises have enabled students to achieve excellent results in their national examinations. In addition, she actively supports mainstream schools by serving as an teacher-examiner for Chinese speaking assessments, making a significant contribution to the promotion of Chinese language education and culture.

Aaron Jilong Shi is a Year 12 student, he received the Youth Voice and Children's Rights Award. An enthusiastic, hardworking, and proactive young volunteer, Aaron has served as a teaching assistant at Manchester Chinese Centre. He also regularly visits elderly Chinese residents, offering companionship and conversation. Accompanied by adult volunteers, he often takes elderly residents on walks and shopping trips, providing the support, care, and opportunities to communicate in their native language that many of them greatly appreciate. His dedication has made him a role model for fellow youth volunteers.

In his acceptance speech, Aaron shared:

"My volunteering journey began with a simple desire to support the youth of Manchester. However, it quickly became an important part of my own personal growth, helping me become a more empathetic and responsible individual. Through serving the community and working alongside young people, I came to understand the true value of advocacy and community engagement. The guidance and support I received from Manchester Chinese Centre played a crucial role in helping me develop and strive for excellence. Being nominated for this award is not only recognition of my own efforts, but also a reflection of the encouragement, support, and belief that the Centre has shown in me throughout the years."

The award ceremony was filled with a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere. Supplementary schools from across Manchester showcased a variety of cultural performances, highlighting the richness of the city's diverse communities. Several award recipients and school representatives also shared inspiring and moving stories, earning warm applause from the audience. Following the ceremony, attendees gathered for a meal, sharing experiences and celebrating their achievements together, bringing a meaningful and memorable event to the end.
